Is there any way they can be unbrainwashed & brought back to a level of civilised people Also thoughts to the familythis guy never deserved this as, he was trying to help those less fortunate than himself

Re: Aid Worker Murdered

Thoughts and prayers go to the family of David Haines.Just wish the media wouldn't pamper to isis, a nickname like "John the Jihadist" makes him sound like a regular guy like Bob the Builder or Paul the Plumber rather than something terrifying and evil.I'm surprised internet and mobile phone communications haven't been blocked and disabled denying them the ability to communicate with each other and the outside world.

well they wont make the hard decisions until its too late, certain groups within the establishment have been calling for all the known caliphate supporters to be rounded up and secured for the duration but the lily livered are scared of doing it, it would protect both sides from undue aggression but sadly there reticence will fire up problems as this nonsense in the middle east keeps spreading across the globe, already there have been several attacks across mainland Europe and in other places by the brainwashed minority and the frequency of such things will only increase, if the NATO led bombardment of the Islamic state starts to make a real difference to the regions where they currently have strongholds they will be viewed as the poor underdog and a lot more will flock to their banner and wage unholy war against civilians (which seems to be the mainstay of all such radicals) without definitive action at home and abroad this mess will continue for generations, but stupid people would rather wring their hands over clauses in the criminal rights act that don't prevent detention of suspected enemy agents so long as they are declared as such ......of course to grant such a label to the individuals would semi legitimise anything done to them, lets not forget that non-uniformed enemy agents are called spys and they are not covered by any statutes other than those of the military tribunal system .....so get em all in front of a firing squad and be done with it

If there's one good thing that's come out of the tragic death of David Haines it is that it has been a wake up call to mid eastern countries. At last they are agreeing to back the West in taking action against IS. They will offer both forces and finance. They will also be able to cut off some of the funding going to IS.

Re: Aid Worker Murdered

That's good news but it seems to me that apart from America we make the biggest contribution in terms of manpower when it comes to direct action.Let's hope those supporting this action contribute the same amount as we do
